Chère Magali,
En juillet, ma famille et moi, nous allons faire un voyage super! Le dix-huit juillet, nous allons en Italie. Nous commençons le voyage à Rome. Puis, on prend le train pour aller à Florence et à Venice. Après ça, on va en Suisse. Mon oncle André habite à Zurich. Nous appelons oncle André et il va venir nous chercher à l’aéroport. Le premier août, on prend l’avion pour aller en Allemagne. On va passer quelques jours à Munich, avant de renter en France. Je t’envoie une carte postale de Florence. Je sais que tu adores l’Italie. Je vais envoyer une carte à Léo aussi. Comment est-ce qu’on épelle son nom de famille?
Bisous,
Amélie
